Dear Alumni, Alumnae, Family, and Friends,
As the fall school semester has come to a close, we have reached the mid-way point of the Alumni Association year. I would like to sincerely thank all OLHCC alumni/alumnae, family, and friends who have encouraged, supported, and/or attended the activities and events during the past months. For those of you who have not yet had the opportunity to join us, we welcome you as we plan and partake of new ventures for the spring!
There is still much work to be done, fun to be had, and new friends to make. But for now, let us pause during these holidays and give thought and thanks to the One whose birth we celebrate and to Whom we offer adoration. While we experience the joys and spirit of the holidays, please remember what makes these days true “Holy Days,” and Keep Christ in Christmas!
Wishing you and yours a Joyful and Blessed Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
Peace and Blessings,
Susan

OLHCC Alumni Board President
July 12, 2010
Greetings from Our Lady of Holy Cross College Alumni Association! My name is Susan Lackey, and I am the newly elected president of our Alumni Association. Summer is a great time for fall planning, and each July the Alumni Association hosts an Alumni Planning Workshop to do just that! The July 17th Workshop will be my first official leadership role as the elected president of the Alumni Board, and we will be introducing the other officers and members, some new and some return. Whether you are an alumni/alumnae, a student, or one of our respected friends, you are welcome to join us to see what we are about and what we hope to accomplish. The OLHCC Alumni Association sponsors and co-sponsors many of the fun and free activities with which you are already familiar. We hope to add new and different ones or at least put a new twist to the old, all in keeping with the Mission and Vision of Our Lady of Holy Cross College. The July Workshop will begin at 9:00 a.m. and will end around 1:00 p.m. We will meet in the Moreau Center, and lunch will be provided! Please stop in for a visit while we meet. You need not stay the whole time, but we would truly enjoy seeing you. I look forward to working with you over this upcoming year. If you have any ideas to share, please feel free to contact me at sslackey@archdioces-no.org. Sincerely, Susan S. Lackey ('02) April 17, 2010 Hi, this is Shannon Taranto, the 2008-2010 Our Lady of Holy Cross College Alumni Board President. Our Alumni Board members have achieved so much during the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 Semesters and it is thanks to all of you! We are truly grateful for all of the feedback and support that we receive throughout the year from you-our fellow alumni. Your opinions and suggestions about our activities are necessary for the continued success of our Alumni Board. There are several upcoming events for our alumni to participate in. On Saturday, May 1, 2010, the Alumni Association along with the Student Government Association will sponsor the Annual OLHCC Crawfish Boil from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. on the college campus with a mass following at 4:30 p.m. in the Moreau Center. On Saturday, May 15th, the Graduation Baccalaureate Mass will be held in the Moreau Center at 4:00 p.m. with a reception to follow and on Sunday, May 16th, Graduation will be held at the Alario Center for noon. Also on Friday, May 28, 2010, the Alumni Association will sponsor a Pool Night at Zephyr’s baseball field beginning at 6:00 p.m. with lots of food, fun, friends, and maybe even some fireworks. And this event is always one that your entire family can enjoy! The OLHCC Alumni Board members and I truly look forward to seeing all of you at our upcoming activities.
